350x Rev Limiter?!?!?!

[toyvette81]

this bike does have a "rev limiter" correct?... is it possible to over rev it winding the gears out? or in nuetral or when missing a gear? i just thought i needed to know for sure..... usually a cdi does this but i just need to hear it

no rev limits to a stock 85 - 86 350x ,,, well till it blows that is.

9 grand is start of red line if i remember correctly.

oh that sucks.... can i over do it by winding out the gears???

[toyvette81]

see im asking b/c today i tested out my new 14 tooth front sprocket to see how much it affected the low and top end... i accidently( i guess) would out the gears a little more than normall, then i was paranoid about a noise in the motor) im like "is that a valve ticking?! bla bla bla etc... my dad said i was paranoid but it does sound a little different.. just the motor noise or mabye it was b/c it was hott. but my best explination of the noise is like a rotating wheel on ball bearings... no ticks. dings etc. just a rotating sound, im sure its just me and just the motor's noise... right!?

I have run my 350X wide open on the hard pack at the beach for several miles at a strech. The motor winds up until it stops and stays there. No damage I can tell, still runs great

If your engine has overheated before reving it out can throw out your lower rod berring. I have a bad crank because of that. A ding isnt good. Your not going to hurt the engine by reving it out unless you float the valves, or overheat it.
